The most widely used oil by professional masseuses and our favourite, is natural sweet almond oil. Used in a variety of cosmetics, it’s lubricating, but not penetrating, which makes it an excellent massage oil and protectant. Almond oil is especially suited to dry, sensitive and irritated skin. It’s softening, revitalising and nourishing to the skin.

Grapeseed oil is another widely used natural massage oil. An excellent alternative for those with nut allergies as it’s naturally non-allergenic, high in antioxidants, nourishing with Vitamins A, B, C and E. Light and odourless, suitable for delicate, problem or sensitive skin. It’s a great choice as a base carrier for other essential oil fragrances. It’s especially useful for skin types that do not absorb oils well, leaving the skin smooth and silky without a greasy feeling.
